Distinct lack of input from the more trusted ITK's on this one?

 

Like the look of him myself so hoping it happens.

Since when have any of the ‘ITKs’ provided any solid information in the last year. From where im standing its a scattergun approach and then pipe up about information thats already out there when some of the sh1t sticks.

The hopes of finding a new Kante or Mahrez are well and truly past

We picked up Ndidi in the last two seasons. We picked up Maguire in the same time frame, and though you could argue he was Prem "proven," he was on a relegated side and was targeted as a back-up to Huth/Morgan with long-term potential. What did we pay for them again, 30 mill or so combined? What are they worth now, 125+ combined? 

 

If you have a good scouting team in place, and a manager and staff keen to teach, you can do quite a bit with raw talent and a good attitude. 

 

Prem-proven is pricey AF. FFS, we won't take SEVENTY FIVE MILLION for flippin' Harry Maguire, a player we could've replaced with Ben Gibson (before he sold) and probably not noticed much of a dropoff. That speaks to what prices are these days for defenders who can dribble a bit and who have proven themselves in the crucible of the Prem/WC, even for defenders.

 

Looking back, last season we crushed the summer window, bringing in 5 players who were starter quality out of 6 (Maguire, Dragovic, Silva, Iborra, Iheanacho, non-starter being Jukupovic, thonobv he was "Prem proven"). Plus we're killing it with our u-23s, we suddenly are seeing these young players like Hamza and Harvey Barnes and George Thomas. The club is as well-stacked with talent as it has ever been in it's history. Let's appreciate that and stay the course.

Well this is a potential signing that looks like it could well be almost done but no 'ITK' has piped up to say it's happening.

 

Maybe we've managed to keep this one under the radar until the eleventh hour. I find it quite refreshing when we do manage to do business in this way.

Fuchs, iborra and this haven't been picked up. They do happen

I have not heard of this player before.

 

But looks to be a tall, ball playing centre back and poses a threat with his height in defence and attack.

 

I give Puel his dues, he is trying to put together a very good young side with a plethora of experience through the squad.

 

That can all play some part and learn from the more senior players and hopefully grow as a team together, as we have some young players coming through that can develop for many years to come wearing the Leicester shirt.

 

It also shows other young players around England and Europe that if they came here, their is a manager here who isn’t afraid to give youth a chance.

Looks like a work in progress but seems to read the game fairly well and obviously a threat from set pieces. Looks like he plays more on the left hand side of defence so possibly backup for Maguire. 

 

I'm sure I read earlier in the thread that he prefers playing on the right hand side, but has played on the left a lot.

TBH, after recent events, I'm doubting the legitimacy of any of our supposed "ITK's"...... No disrespect to them obviously.

A fair few of them actually have decent info... bit unfair to group them together with the ones that clearly don't.

This is true. Just hard to tell them apart and when you trust one and his info turns out to be nonsense, it makes you wonder how many are legit.

I don't think anyone has ever posted 'I'm ITK', other than ppl taking the piss but there are a handful in here who make statements such as 'talks ongoing' or 'Bid in' etc. 

 

I don't personally have an issue with it, but equally I don't see why we aren't allowed to get frustrated or question and ITK, if what they are saying doesn't match up with genuine reports. 

 

ITK's can share any info they get and many of us are grateful for that, but I don't get all the sensitivity around being called out on occasion. All part and parcel of it really. 

 

It's all just a bit of fun anyway!

Yes. Someone done so the other day but others merely allude to the fact that they get info. We all know who they are.

Not really no but there are one or two wannabes that post stuff whilst suggesting that they are ITK.

 

I make my own mind up on the people that I trust to post reliable info (yourself and two or three others included). Although I realise that some info is posted in good faith but doesn't always come off.

I remember seeing a brilliant Benalouane chant on here to the tune of the Addams Family. Sadly it never really took off (much like his Leicester career)

Elite sport is brutal. Like the overwhelming majority of managers, CP is six games away from being sacked at any given moment. If we have six successive bad results and poor performances, he’ll be gone. And it will be us supporters that are calling for his head. It won’t matter if he played kids, locals, unemployed people, LGBT activists or whatever. Everyone will

hold him accountable to getting the best results he possibly can for the club within the confines of our budget. Therefore, if he and his support team think FP is the way forward, the other contenders have to raise their game even more. That’s how competition works. Ask Liam Moore.

Not at all! All solid points from everyone. We all know how it works, I just appreciate hearing people's thoughts on the subject, since we have a few youth players who like they could break into the first team, and a manager who seems willing (and good at) developing them.
